Woody Guthrie And The American Dream

Guthrie’s music is distinctly American and inevitably speaks to an egalitarian ideal that rings through Thomas Jefferson’s foundational words in the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”

Clem Perez has selected twenty-four songs that demonstrate the extent to which Woody Guthries’s music is a herald to respect the rights and the dignity of all citizens, especially of the impoverished, the working poor and the disenfranchised.

Clem Perez teaches English at St. Philip’s College and has taught at the University of Texas at San Antonio.  He has performed folk music in the French Quarter in New Orleans and with several small groups in San Antonio.
